Darcy sat on the roof of an old building where she and Jane did their research. It hadn't been the same since the whole SNAFU with Thor and SHIELD. Things were boring now they were back to their previous work.
She loves to star gaze, but her passion is limited to just looking. It is after all Jane's job to know all the specifics, but there is something amazing about looking up at the dark sky and to see infinity. Some infinities are larger than other infinities, and to describe the vastness of space was ineffable. She feels sorry for Jane because it must be so frustrating trying to explain something so complex.
Jane was in her office finishing her work for the day, and soon would be up on the roof to watch the sky with Darcy. Ever since Thor had gone back to Asgard, Jane had been even more obsessed, if that was even possible, with the gateways to other realms. She and Darcy would spend hours and hours on the roof watching the nighttime sky.
After an hour, Darcy persuaded Jane to go to bed with promises that she would wake her up if there was the slightest little change to the sky. Darcy looked up and sighed when Jane finally went inside.
"I hope Thor comes back soon. Jane's no fun again, she's back to being boring," she huffed to herself watching for any sky changes like last time.
All she wants is for Jane to be happy again. She has been so depressed lately, and with understandable reasons. If Darcy was in Jane's shoes, she would be depressed as well. Hell! She would probably be hospitalized because she most likely would never sleep like ever, so she would do something crazy like dress up like Batman and run around the town pulling pranks because she was so depressed.
Pranks were the only way to fully make her feel better. She had pulled this great prank with Thor where they bought liquid exlax, crushed chips into the mixture, fed it to some pigeons, and watched chaos ensue. There was so much poop! Hahaha, silly peasants!
Her musings were interrupted by a flash and a loud clap of thunder.
